My experience at sanctuary house was great. I'm from the states and this was my first place to stay anywhere close to that far from home. The apartment itself was very clean and sits in a very quaint section of the sothorn district in bangkok. This area has anything you would need to live including good food and some low-key bars. When I wanted to go hang with the rest of the tourists and go drink/party I was able to easily grab a tuk-tuk or taxi outside and head 15 minutes towards the grand palace/ or Kho San Rd area. It was nice to have this sort of closeness to all the fun and wild stuff while being able to retreat back to the apartment away from all the chaos (which there is plenty of! ). My room had a couch, AC, TV, and kitchenette. There is also a roof deck with washer and an area to hang clothes. Very helpful.
